rear delt machine at my gym sucks, the resistance is/seems higher on the left side than the right.
It's the laterals that create the width, not presses. Years of heavy overhead pressing eventually ruins your shoulders.
It's the genetics that create the width.
I would imagine so as there's no difference between a natural and a druggie except the drugs.
That's just your excuse.
Well then, in this case we're not disagreeing!
I consider pulling a barbell from the ground, and pressing it over head to be a fundamental lift... along with bent rows and squats. everything else if fluff.
Agree, except for biceps. There you want a routine of 5-6 different exercises of 5-6 sets each.
While I don't ever recommend doing any exercise to failure, in this case it makes some sense. It's not often, on this alleged bodybuilding website, that someone posts something really useful. Thank You!
From a standpoint of leverage, side laterals might be the worst exercise, as evidenced by relatively little amount of weight you can use. Most of the time people go too heavy, putting a lot of stress on the shoulder joint, and end up injured.I don't see them as a worthwhile exercise, as is the case with most isolation movements.I do agree that shoulders respond better to higher reps. Basketball players tend to have good delts even though many don't lift. Why? Because they spend a lot of time with their arms raised and their delts flexed.
